"We live our lives on a whole planet, seeing and learning and going from place to place. But eventually there arrives a time for each of us, when our world becomes smaller: one house, one floor of that house, and near the end, one room, one little room to which our whole gigantic life has been reduced. And when that happens . . . that room becomes sacred. It is the holy, modest place in which we will perform perhaps the hardest task of our life: letting it go."
This is a story of courage, compassion, and redemption. Deborah Birch, a seasoned hospice nurse has a difficult new patient. And when Nurse Birch is off duty she is not able to get much rest because her husband is suffering from nightmares, anxiety, and rage.
The author weaves together three different threads in this novel: death/dying, Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD), and Pearl Harbour. There are two alternating story lines, one about the Pacific in WW 2, and the other about a hospice care nurse caring for a patient and supporting her husband who just returned from his last deployment. The author crafts a gentle yet compelling story that is easy to read and beautifully written. I will definitely be reading more by this author who is a graduate of the acclaimed University of Iowa's Writer's Workshop and has won many awards for his writing. His latest novel which came out earlier this year is called The Baker's Secret which is about D-Day from the French perspective. And another one that looks good is The Curiosity which is a thriller about a man frozen in the Arctic for more than a century, who wakes up in the present day.
Kiernan's writing has a 'fresh' feel to me and I really enjoyed it. The season I read it in was especially poignant for me because my sister was dying and I began reading Being Mortal by Atul Gawande. It was meaningful to view the perspective of navigating the decline of old age that Gawande brings and comforting to experience the compassionate care of the hospice nurse in the novel at the same time. Hospice care is such amazing work and I gained even more respect for it in reading this book.

Stripping Copper-Nickel-Chrome
Q. Is there a method for stripping copper-nickel-chrome deposits from rejected zinc diecastings? K.G.
A. I have not come across a process that does a good job stripping this deposit of zinc diecasts. Most likely, you can strip the chrome from the nickel and the nickel from the copper, but removing copper from a zinc diecast would be very difficult at best, and, based on what I have observed, not very reliable. Check out the article "Stripping of Plated Finishes" from the Products Finishing Directory and Technology Guide at PFonline.com/articles/stripping-of-plated-finishes for some helpful hints on stripping processes in general.

On 13 September 2012, Fuego volcano in Guatemala again erupted, forcing the National Coordinating Agency for Disaster Reduction (CONRED) to declare an institutional "Orange Alert" and evacuated more than 10,000 inhabitants from communities located on the foothills of this volcano. The Departmental and Municipal Coordinating Agencies for Disaster Reduction (CODRED and COMRED respectively) also decalred orange alerts within their jurisdictions as a way to prevent loss of life. Given the fact that this is the rainy season in Guatemala, CONRED also is observing this activity with a particular focus on potental lahars which may manifest themselves in the Guacalate and Achiguate rivers. Using satellite imagery from MODIS TERRA, CATHALAC, one of UN-SPIDER's Regional Support Offices, elaborated maps depicting how the ash cloud was dispersed to the west of the volcano.
On Saturday evening 19 May 2012, the volcano also manifested a strong eruption, which also led to the evacuation of several communities located on its foothills. The eruption of the 3.700 meters high volcano was one of its largest in recent years. The activity is part of an eruptive cycle producing intermittent explosive eruptions and lava flows that began in 2002. Eruptions began at 2:45 a.m. with explosions and lava fountains up to 400 meters high. The eruption produces an ash column of almost 5000 meters height prompting alerts and flight restrictions.
The National Emergency Response Commission (CONRED) of Guatemala requested UN-SPIDER's support in May 2012 in facilitating the access to satellite imagery via its network. The International Charter Space and Major Disasters was subsequently activated by the Argentina Civil Protection Agency (SIFEM) on behalf of CONRED on 21 May 2012. The activation led to the production of maps which were provided to the National Emergency Operations Center of CONRED and are available for vieing on the Charter website.

Canada Goose
Giant Canada geese (Branta canadensis maxima) were common birds in the upper Midwest before the arrival of the white man. Unregulated hunting and wetland drainage reduced the number of giant Canadas to the point where they were thought to be extinct. In 1962, Dr. Harold Hanson of the Illinois Natural History Survey concluded that the geese that wintered at Rochester, Minnesota, were definitely giant Canada geese. Several other small remnant flocks were identified following the discovery in Minnesota. Many conservation agencies have worked to re-establish giant Canadas in their original breeding range. Success has been good and flocks are now well-established throughout the Midwest. Indiana has thriving concentrations of resident geese in several areas and the birds may nest in every county of the state. Major populations occur in the Indianapolis and Fort Wayne metropolitan areas, on coal company lands in southwestern Indiana and on many state Fish and Wildlife areas.
Giant Canada geese are the largest of the 11 subspecies of Canada geese. Some males reach weights exceeding 20 pounds, but the average weights are 12 lbs., 8 oz. for adult males and 12 lbs., 2 oz. for adult females. Giant Canada geese tend to be large, have light-colored breast feathers, a white check patch, white flecks on their heads, a longer bill and greater leg length than other races of Canada geese.
Canada geese usually mate for life. When a pair is broken apart, a new mate is chosen. Mates are normally selected when the birds are two years old, but nesting generally does not occur until they are three years old. Canada geese lay an average of five eggs per clutch; if the nest is destroyed before incubation has begun, the goose may renest. The eggs hatch after the female has incubated them for 25-30 days. Once the eggs hatch, both parents care for the young. Adults take good care of the young and are extremely defensive when danger threatens. In areas where several pairs and their broods are located close together, pairs and broods may join forming "gang broods." The goslings are capable of flight about 71 days after hatching. The family groups stay together well into the winter.
Geese are grazers. They eat large quantities of grasses and forbs in the spring and summer. As the weather turns cooler in the fall, grain, especially corn, becomes a major part of their diet.
Giant Canada geese were common nesters in the Grand Kankakee River marsh before it was drained for agricultural purposes. Remnants of live decoy flocks which were preserved by a few individuals were the source of most of the geese released throughout Indiana. The reestablishment began in 1935. Today, Canada geese are common in Indiana, providing many viewing and hunting opportunities.
Canada goose hunting is a traditional sport. Blinds, pits, decoys, retrieving dogs, marshes, corn stubble fields, goose calls, magnum shotguns, frosty dawns, sleet, snow and good friends are all a part of it. Hunters take from 15,000 to 20,000 geese annually in Indiana.
If Canada geese are present in an area, they can often be attracted to nest on a particular pond, lake or marsh, if the owner is willing to put forth some effort. The preferred nesting site is an island. Islands which are not disturbed during nesting season frequently attract nesting pairs. When building earthen islands is impractical, floating platforms can be anchored in the pond to serve as artificial islands. Other types of nesting structure can be used. Hay-filled, elevated tubs, are excellent goose nesting sites which have the advantage of being nearly predator-proof. With all types of nesting sites, it is important that the birds are not disturbed during the nesting period. When considering attracting geese to a pond or lake, it is important to realize that sometimes these birds can cause problems. Problems are especially prevalent on developed lakes. In doing so, they can inflict considerable pain. As the population of geese increases so does the potential for problems. Canada geese can ruin meticulously manicured lawns with their grazing activities and swimming areas can sometimes be seriously degraded when geese leave their droppings scattered about. In addition, giant Canadas are aggressive during the nesting season and will forcefully defend their territory against all intruders. Because of such potential problems, efforts to attract geese should be made in only nonresidential areas. For ideas about problem Canada geese, see Controlling Nuisance Geese.

5 Fun Ice Cream Play Ideas
Do your Little Pnuts love ice cream? Ours certainly do, and what could be a better way to beat the summer heat than ice cream pretend play? Here are five ways we have used the Hape Ice Cream Shop from our recent Little Pnuts shipment for pretend play, sensory play, fine motor development, and FUN!
What You Will Need
- Hape Ice Cream Shop
- Cloud Dough (Recipe below)
- Sand
- Shaved Ice
- Homemade Syrup (Recipe below)
- Ice Cream Dough (Recipe below)
- Pom Poms in various sizes & colors
Variations of Play
Cloud Dough
Cloud dough, moon dough, snow dough –whatever you call it, this classic sensory medium makes the perfect pretend ice cream! To make it, simply combine 8 parts flour to one part vegetable oil (or any cooking oil). You can add Kool Aid, spices, or extracts to scent it and/or crushed chalk or powdered tempera paint to color it. The dough is soft and fluffy but can be molded like sand…so fun!
Take your Hape Ice Cream Shop to the sandbox – your Little Pnuts are guaranteed tons of fun with very little preparation!
Snow Cones with Homemade Syrup
Since the Hape Ice Cream Shop is BPA and phthalate free, your Little Pnuts can use it to make their own tiny snow cones! We used shaved ice and made homemade syrup with this easy recipe (LINK: http://nateandrachael.com/snow-cone-syrup-recipe/) and had a blast with our icy treat!
Ice Cream Dough
We stumbled upon this sensory play recipe from our friend over at Play Create Explore (LINK: http://www.playcreateexplore.org/2013/01/ice-cream-dough-new-play-recipe.html) and have been having tons of fun with it this summer! To make it, simply combine ¾ cup hair conditioner (or lotion, which is what we had on hand) and 1 ½ cups cornstarch. Add extracts and/or food coloring to make your perfect "flavor" and you have a fantastic dough that really and truly looks like ice cream!
Pom Poms
We have a giant stash of pom poms of all shapes, sizes, and colors that our Little Pnuts love to play with. They had a fabulous time scooping them out of the tub and "serving" their creations to the whole family one afternoon. This was an easy and awesome fine motor workout!

1. Re: How to kill a Form ?Michael Ferrante-Oracle Apr 4, 2013 3:53 PM (in response to dassdhan)You can overcome this but at a cost. If you disable memory mapping your form will be fully loaded into memory thereby allowing the environment to not lock the file. The problem with this is that you will see an overall increase in memory consumption. This generally would not be a problem if the concurrent user load remains fairly low. In other words, if your machine (server) has substantial memory and you don't have a large concurrent user base then you like are ok leave memory mapping disabled. Generally, I would recommend using this carefully and most often not recommend using it in production environments. That said, to disable memory mapping, add the following to default.env:
2. Re: How to kill a Form ?AlexDiniasi Apr 4, 2013 3:54 PM (in response to dassdhan)Hello,
One solution for this problem is to use parameter FORMS_MMAP/FORMS60_MMAP as described
in the following metalink document :
Note:151618.1 "Unable to Replace .fmx Files 'On The Fly' During Forms Runtime"
However as described in this document, this parameter should not be used in production
When there is no or very little maintenance periods in production systems to
perform such copy operations or there is an urgent need to replace a runtime module,
the following method is the recommended method :
Keep two directories including the same fmx/plx/pll/mmx, etc files, and
reference one of them in the FORMSXX_PATH in default.env/registry according to
the patform. Here FORMSXX_PATH stands for
FORMS60_PATH for Forms version 6.0.X
FORMS_PATH for Forms version 10.X /11.X
When you need to replace one/some runtime modules, replace the one
in the directory that is NOT referenced in the FORMSXX_PATH variable, then
change the reference to the updated directory in FORMSXX_PATH. From now on, the
new connections will start using the updated runtimes. When all the users
logout from their current sessions and connect to application once more, the old
directory will be ready for modifications. And at that time you can synchronize
the old directory with the new one and continue this way switching the
directories whenever needed.
Please note that, when there is a need to replace another form or the same form
once more, before having the chance to synchronize the directories, this 2
directory approach can be extended to 3,4 or more directories according to needs.
FORMS_PATH can be set up in default.env file.
If someone's answer is helpful or correct please mark it accordingly.
3. Re: How to kill a Form ?indra budiantho Apr 4, 2013 11:16 PM (in response to dassdhan)just kill from the database:

4. Re: How to kill a Form ?dassdhan Apr 12, 2013 8:53 AM (in response to AlexDiniasi)Thanks Alex !
When I changed FORMSPATH variable in default.env file, then
Is it not necessary to Stop Weblogic Server-WLS_FORMS and Start Weblogic Server-WLS_FORMS to take in effect ?
if yes then this will disconnect all users. Otherwise OK.
Please clarify.
5. Re: How to kill a Form ?dassdhan Apr 12, 2013 9:07 AM (in response to indra budiantho)Thanks Indra!
But your query doesn't resolve my problem as below;
1. It shows USERNAME, which are database users, but I want Forms Users, which I defined in a database table.
2. It shows PROGRAM, which is frmbld.exe which is form builder file, but I want my application specific form i.e. which form is currently open by the user.
Please give me quey which shows me a specific current form using by a user.

Nicki Minaj's Grammys Performance - Watch Now!
Nicki Minaj levitates during her performance at the 2012 Grammy Awards held at Staples Center on Sunday (February 12) in Los Angeles.
The 29-year-old rapper kicked it off by confessing the lyrics to her new single, "Roman Holiday," while sitting next to The Pope, the same man she walked with on the red carpet earlier in the evening.
The performance, called "The exorcism of [Nicki's alter ego] Roman," was choreograhed by Laurieann Gibson and featured religious imagery, pyrotechnics, and backup dancers dressed as monks.
"OMG @ that chris brown performance. >>>>>>>> SHUT DOOWWWNNNN," Nicki tweeted about another one of the night's performers.

This is definitely a movie.
The fine people behind the upcoming "Saw 3D" release have put out a pretty dandy 3D poster that will blow your little peepers out of their sockets. There's also a solid chance this will be the best part of this movie, so enjoy it while it lasts.
"Dexter Early Cuts: Dark Echo", which is a brand spanking new animated webisode found it's way to Comic Con and the internerds are all a flutter. The web series gives us all a chance to see what went on in our favorite serial killer's life before the show started. In episode three he goes out an buys all those cool cabana shirts.
Fresh from Comic Con comes news that Guillermo del Toro is going to be making a "Haunted Mansion" movie based on the Disney ride. I can't even begin to explain how excited I am about this but apparently they aren't going to be asking Eddie Murphy to join the cast. Am I the only one who enjoyed the last one? I can't be alone here.
In order to build up the hype around it's estimated 2014 release the fine people behind the "Night Of The Demons" remake have released a poster. Alright the 2014 thing is kind of bullshit, it just feels like we've been talking about this masterpiece forever now. You can't rush Shannon Elizabeth and her perfection.
If you loved "The Mutant Chronicles", and honestly who didn't, you'll be excited to know that its creator Simon Hunter is currently working on a new a new flick titled "Safe House". I'll be honest, I didn't like "The Mutant Chronicles" and I could care less about this, but I thought I should post one thing that didn't come out of Comic Con.

Who pays for health care? The authors of a current JAMA commentary maintain that the notion that employers ,government and individuals all share in the payment of health care is a myth and a harmful one because the false notion that they are spending someone else's money reduces the incentive for cost control. The authors are Ezekiel J. Emanuel,director of clinical bioethics at the NIH, and Victor R. Fuchs , an economist from Stanford with a long track record of publications regarding financing of health care.
They argue that the employers who provide health insurance do not pay the cost or as they put it "bear the ultimate cost" Health insurance is part of the employee compensation package i.e. wages in another form. What you get in health insurance you don't get in your pay check. They quote another economist who concluded that "the cost of health insurance are fully shifted to wages." This seems to make sense and yet we are also told ( by the same authors in this 2005 reference) that large companies , such as notably GM, have a very large burden of health care costs and that is a major reason for their economic woes. So which is it?
Similarly the "burden of government provided health coverage falls on the average citizen". This is , they argue, because the government get its money through taxation, or borrowing from future taxpayers of reducing other state services. They fail to mention financing through the printing press creation of inflation.
Victor Fuchs and Ezekial Emanuel advocate a "Universal Health Care voucher" system financed by a value-added tax and eliminating employer insurance. Dr. Fuchs views on health care financing can be found in this article in the Annals of Internal Medicine and here is a brief NPR video interview of Dr. Emanuel in which he describes his voucher program.
I would agree that in the aggregate whatever the government does is paid for by taxpayers one way or another. However, everyone in the country does not pay-as some folks pay no taxes. Further, what an individual receives in terms of health care may be significantly greater than that person paid out to the government. For some, health care is actually paid for by using "some one else's money".There is certainly some cost shifting going on and for others there may well be a illusion that health care is paid for by others.
The Fuchs-Emanuel voucher proposal has been talked about for several years now and it should be distinguished from a single payer plan which it is not and which they believe would not work well in the U.S. Although the "universal" part should appeal to Democrats and the "voucher" part should appeal to Republicans, I have not seen that either has enthusiastically embraced it. In fact, Clinton talks about shared responsibility with all the players contributing the common goal. So why has not this proposal received more support and I am not sure that it should. I am having trouble implementing my "follow-the-money" rule to explain the opposition and wonder what take DrRich at Covert Rationing Blog has on this.

Dr. Gaulte,
I am not ignoring you. I am thinking about how to answer you on this complex but important topic. I'm flattered that you would be interested in my thoughts here. While I may not be up to the task, my plan is to post on this early next week, and I'll let you know when I've done that.

Why would not the insurance companies who run the plans not do most everything they do now to ration care?

First, Some pictures from last night's commute.
Two Bees (Downtown District staff) and a bike
Fun with shadows (and iPhoto effects)
Helmet Storage. One less (sweaty) thing to take on the bus with me and it isn't going anywhere latched this way.
This morning, we had crazy south winds with gusts well into 30 MPH territory.
Lenexa, KS near 79th and Quivira. The bank thermometer and clock are both inaccurate. It was about 53°F upon departure this morning.
I saw this on the road at 25th and Southwest. I'll leave the reader to identify this device (lol) I'll just tell you that it's NOT a LASER pointer. It's about 1.5" long.
Skyline at sunrise. Check out the epic debris field along the right side of the road. Someone get a street sweeper out here!
Downtown Daybreak (sorry it's crooked)
Blossoms obscure the Power & Light District
Sprint Center and a road pylon (covering exposed wires from a fallen light post)
This light post. Obviously struck by a vehicle. Gotta love KC motorists.
Obligatory lightpost abstractness
You can thank Deb Ridgway for getting these awesome replacements for some of the wheel-killing storm drains around town.
Transamerica building A.k.a. Town Pavilion.
All in all, a great, beautiful morning. Ran into Karen on the way in, saw lots of bikes being ridden and locked up downtown, had coffee with Lorin (who snuck up on me while taking that last photo) and JR. Winds will continue out of the South or Southwest this evening, so it looks like more bus riding for me. I'm such a slacker.

Miscellaneous thoughts about miscellaneous matters
I have gotten the impression that American schools do not teach Civics very well. There seem to be U.S. citizens who think that the people should do what the government says, and that the Duty of Civil Disobedience is not a responsibility that Americans should take seriously. The matter of how citizens should act in a republic has a great deal formal philosophical literature behind it, and its origin go back before the origin of organized government. I could go back to Platos Republic and some

Sometimes I wonder whether people in the U.S.A. ever bother reading the documents that are the basis of the U.S. government. There have been other countries that declared independence from a mother country and produced a declaration of independence, but from what I know of those documents, they were in legalistic style, so they are not easy to read. The U.S. Declaration of Independence was well written by someone who knew what he was doing; although it was damaged somewhat by amendments on the floor

The idea of free speech has been around for quite a while. It was essential to Ancient Greek democracy, and in ancient times the suppression of free speech was often a clear sign that government was acting badly. The actual origins of the idea of free speech aren't important, and the origins predate history, so there is a limit on what we can say about it. But the re-emergence of free speech during and after the Reformation and during the Age of Reason is very important to the concept of free speech

The generic name is the chemical name of a medicine. This name is the same no matter how many companies manufacture the medicine.
When a company makes a medicine, they give it a brand name (or trade name). A generic name medicine can be made by more than one company. And each company may have their own brand name for the same generic name medicine. So there can be more than one brand name for each generic name. Generic names and brand names of medicines are chemically the same. But generic name medicines are usually less expensive.

BARCELONA - Germany's Thomas Lurz became the only man to have struck gold in all four open water events when he battled through the pain of the final sprint to edge the 25-km race at the world championships in Barcelona on Saturday. The balding 33-year-old from Wuerzburg, who took silver in the 10-km race and bronze over 5-km earlier in the week as well as gold in the 5-km team event, slapped the overhead finish marker to register a time of four hours, 47 minutes and 27 seconds after a marathon slog around the city's picturesque harbour.
Brian Ryckeman of Belgium came home just four tenths of a second later to take silver in a time of 4:47:27.4 followed by Russia's Evegenii Drattcev in third with 4:47:28.1. "These championships have been great for me," Lurz told reporters. "I was lucky to be in the middle (for the sprint) and I had a little bit of space. I closed my eyes for the last 100 metres, I was hurting, I had so much pain but I said, 'Now I give it my best'."
Lurz's compatriot Angela Maurer was unable to celebrate her 38th birthday with another gold for Germany after Italy's Martina Grimaldi edged her by a tenth of a second in the women's race following more than five hours in the water. Maurer, who won 25-km bronze at the world championships held in Barcelona a decade ago, was devastated after initially being declared the winner, but said she was still pleased with silver.
Grimaldo came home in 5:07:19.7. Maurer, world champion in 2006 and 2009 and a silver medallist in Shanghai two years ago, followed in 5:07:19.8 and Eva Fabian took bronze for United States with a time of 5:07:20.4.
"I don't know what happened," a dripping Maurer, her eyes still showing the marks of her goggles, told reporters. I just tried to touch and maybe I didn't touch strong enough," she added. "It's a little bit frustrating if you see you are first and then you see you are second. I'm a little bit sad but I did a great race so second place is also fine. I got a medal and that was the important thing."
Lurz dominated the 5-km distance at previous world championships, winning seven straight golds between 2005 and 2011, but had never medalled in the 25-km version. He won gold in the 10-km in 2004 and 2009 and is also the only athlete to have won an open water medal at two Olympic Games, taking silver in the 10-km swim in London last year and bronze in Beijing in 2008.

Liberty Ross is no longer upset with Kristen Stewart over her fling with Rupert Sanders.
The 34-year-old model and actress was devastated when her husband cheated on her with the 22-year-old actress but after filing for divorce she has decided to put the whole thing behind her.
A source told HollywoodLife: "The good thing about Liberty is that she's not upset anymore. She's had time to get over the initial shock and awe of it when it was exposed last year and the divorce was the nail in the coffin."
"That girl's extremely mature. She's handled all this public tragedy in her life with grace and humility for the sake of her children. I toast to her."
Liberty's main priorities at the moment are her children, Sykla, seven, and Tennyson, five, and she is trying to get along with Rupert for their sake.
The insider added: "All she cares about right now are her children and her future. She's spoken to Rupert by phone and the conversations were all business - trying to discuss the arrangements for the children."

The soon-to-be chief diplomat got a chance to test his skills when an anti-war protester interrupted the opening testimony at his confirmation hearing as Secretary of State.
Sen. John Kerry, D-Mass., was addressing the Senate Foreign Relations Committee when a woman began shouting at the back of the room.
"When will it be enough?" she shouted as police escorted her from the room. "I'm tired of my friends in the Middle East dying."
Kerry, whose first appearance before the Foreign Relations Committee was as the spokesman for the Vietnam Veterans Against the War and whose anti-war views sunk his presidential aspirations in 2004, handled the interruption with finesse and grace.
"When I first came to Washington and testified I obviously was testifying as part a group of people who came here to have their voices heard, and that is, above all, what this place is about," he said.
"I respect, I think, the woman who was voicing her concerns about that part of the world. People measure what we do. In a way, that's a good exclamation point to my testimony."

BRADENTON, Fla. (AP) — James McDonald was not rattled by his rough start.
McDonald labored in the first inning, then recovered as the Pittsburgh Pirates beat the Boston Red Sox 4-3 Monday.
"I got locked back in, kept my composure and finished strong," McDonald said. "I didn't let the game get away from me. I felt confident — every pitch, every moment out there."
Ryan Lavarnway hit a two-run single in the first. McDonald then retired 11 of 14 batters. He gave up four hits and three walks in five innings and struck out six.
This was the second game in a row that McDonald overcame a rocky first inning.
"It's definitely correctable," Pirates manager Clint Hurdle said. "He's got some weapons. With James, it's about rhythm, pace and timing. That improved as the game went on. We've got to keep him working and take the cerebral part out of it."
McDonald has a 4.19 ERA in five games with 4 strikeouts in 19 1-3 innings.
Neil Walker homered to end Clay Buchholz's 9 1-3 inning scoreless streak and Gaby Sanchez hit a two-run drive.
Walker's leadoff homer in the second was the only hit off Buchholz, who struck out four and walked two in five innings.
Sanchez homered in the seventh against Chris Carpenter, and Michael McKenry hit a solo drive off Oscar Villarreal in the eighth.
"He's gone through a pretty drastic transformation from the way he pitched in the minors and in his rookie year to now," Red Sox manager John Farrell said. "The last couple outings, when he puts the ball on the ground, he's at his best. That's when he's most relaxed."
After recovering from stress fracture in his back in 2011, Buchholz began last season by going 4-2 with a 7.19 ERA in his first 10 starts. He was 7-6 with a 3.45 ERA the rest of the way.
After watching video of Buchholz's early outings, Farrell said he saw a lot of pitches up in the zone.
"Maybe he was subconsciously protecting (his back) or just couldn't get full extension to drive the ball downhill," Farrell said. "But after his seventh or eighth start, he ran off good numbers, like he was his old self. That's what we're seeing now."
NOTES: Red Sox DH David Ortiz's scheduled batting practice was canceled due to continued pain in both heels. "He's not ready for that next phase," Farrell said. … The start of the game was delayed by 48 minutes, but it didn't start raining until after the tarp was removed and play got under way. … The Pirates reassigned RHPs Gerrit Cole, Brooks Brown, Kyle Waldrop, LHP Kris Johnson and C Ali Solis to their minor league camp. RHP Phil Irwin was optioned to Triple-A Indianapolis. Cole, the first overall pick in the 2011 amateur draft, is the team's top prospect. … Closer Jason Grilli pitched a 1-2-3 sixth inning in his first appearance for the Pirates since pitching for Italy in the World Baseball Classic. … If SS Stephen Drew continues to be bothered by post-concussion symptoms through Tuesday, the Red Sox would send him to be examined by Dr. Michael Collins, a specialist in Pittsburgh. "When he goes through exertion tests there's no increase in the symptoms, so we take that as a positive," Farrell said. … Red Sox LHP Franklin Morales (bulging disk) threw from 60 feet on Monday. "If we can repeat that a couple of days, we'll have more insight on what plan to follow," Farrell said.

The Keota boy's basketball team is sitting pretty with a 7-2 record.
The Eagles dropped their second game of the season by six points to Lynnville-Sully, and their first game against Sigourney by six points as well.
They are shooting just under 40 percent, and have 512 points this season.
After the first half they are led by Luke Lyle with 141 points, but Keota has three players over 100 points, including Lyle, Kolton Greiner with 116 and Nate Owen with 107.
Keota head coach Dan Stout said the break should help his team relax and rest, to get ready for the second half of the season.
"We have [the break] every year, unfortunate this year that we have a couple of extra days missing Thursday and Friday because of snow, and hopefully that won't effect us too much over the break, but once the kids come back in we'll be a little rejuvenated hopefully, early one we've only been playing five or six, maybe seven kids in the ball game, so it will give these kids a chance for a little rest," Stout said.
Keota hosts North Mahaska-New Sharon on Friday Jan. 4 to kick off the sec

My Dad's dog, Taffy, left us today.
Sunday, she played her favorite game one last time...chase the water hose...and today..she left to go find my Dad.
Anyone who says an animal is JUST an animal...never met my Dad's dogs.
Taffy's entire life was devoted to him. She followed him from room to room. She kept him company when he became home bound. When he wasn't feeling good, she didn't leave his side. She ADORED him. ADORED. She spent every moment of her life, if he was home, with him. She even rode to town with him in the patrol car to get the mail before he had to give that up. She loved nothing more than a good car ride. And a good game of roll the hedge apple down the driveway.
She loved water. Ever see a cat chasing a laser pointer or a piece of yarn? That's what she would do when you tried to water the flowers. Her ears would perk up, her tail would start wagging, and it would be on. In the twitch of the water hose, she'd turn into a pup again.
Taffy had coat of long beautiful shiny black hair. She was some sort of border collie mix. She had expressive brown eyes, that oozed love. She used to lay her head on my Dads lap when he was sitting in his wheelchair and just look at him. "What? What, Taff??, he'd whisper to her. Thump-thump-thump would go her tail, but she would never break eye contact with him.
One day, right after my dad died, Danny and I, and my brother and sister were at the farm. We were looking for pictures to take to the funeral home. Hospice had just come and taken all the medical equipment, and the house felt cold and sad. Taffy came out of her hiding spot, and cowered her way over to me. I sat down, and realized every feeling that *I* was feeling...was mirrored in her eyes. She was lost. And scared. Didn't know her place or what she was suppose to be doing anymore. Confused, and so tired. I remember I just laid my head down on her head, and just cried. She just sat there, and didn't move, and let me cry.
She never was the same after Dad died.
And Sunday..we removed my Dad's bed. It was like she couldn't stand it anymore. And she turned her light off.
Dad had another dog named Tuffy. She died of cancer a few years ago at the ripe old age of 16. As she was taking her last breaths, my Dad bent down and whispered to her. "Go find a good tree, lie down, and wait. I'll be there soon." And I know she did. I've thought a lot about that since losing my Dad, and what a reunion that had to have been.
And I know they were right there waiting on Taffy. Oh, how I bet that tail was a thumping when she saw them again.
Run and play hard, sister! Thank you for loving Dad, and keeping him company all those years. Make him go find you a water hose.
And tell him how much we miss him.

Despite Bank of America Corp (NYSE:BAC) CEO Brian Moynihan's determination to put the bank's mortgage morass behind it, the latest settlement negotiations with U.S. regulators have come to a screeching halt. Worse yet, according to a report by the New York Times, the two sides seem quite far apart, and the stalemate may continue indefinitely.
Crisis-era issues come back to stir the pot
With Moynihan's recent comments about resolving outstanding legal problems at a recent financial conference – followed quickly by news that the bank and the Department of Justice were in negotiations – gave me the impression that this last, huge legal issue might be wrapped up quickly. Alas, it was not to be.
There appear to be at least two stumbling blocks in the road to resolution: the amount of the penalty Bank of America will pay, and festering resentment on B of A's part toward the government for its actions during the financial crisis.
Bank of America was pressured by Treasury and Federal Reserve officials in 2008 to purchase the ailing investment firm Merrill Lynch in hopes of averting another failure like that of Lehman Brothers. Now, many of the mortgage-backed securities B of A is expected to resolve were created by Merrill, and the bank is balking at the big price tag attached to that clean-up.
That big settlement amount is the other huge roadblock. While Bank of America has offered $12 billion to put paid to this – hopefully – last big legal dispute over toxic mortgage bonds, the DOJ want more. Quite a bit more, in fact: $17 billion, which would top JPMorgan Chase's recent $13 billion penalty, and result in the largest big-bank payout ever.
Also at issue is how the penalty will be parsed out. While Bank of America seemingly wants more of the settlement to go toward consumer relief, the government wants both – help for troubled borrowers, as well as a nice big pot of money for its own coffers.
Is the deal dead?
The NYT article notes that the chief negotiator for the DOJ is on the road at the moment, so no movement on this issue is to be expected for a few days. The bank has offered to sit down at the table again, so perhaps it is willing to up the ante a bit.
Truth be told, the idea that the buyer of Countrywide would emerge from this settlement with a smaller penalty than JPMorgan Chase incurred last year just didn't seem realistic. Also, using government pressure to take over Merrill as a bargaining chip likely won't hold any more water with U.S. negotiators than did the cries of indignation over JPMorgan's similar situation with Bear Stearns. The Bank of Dimon still paid a huge tab to put all those Bear-related issues to rest, despite the fact that the government encouraged that deal, as well.
How much is Bank of America willing to pay to end this impasse? We should find out soon. Moynihan truly wants to put an end to these problems, and I seriously doubt he will give up. This deal may be in a world of pain, but it isn't dead yet.

Brackbill, Christian M. (1853-1936)
Christian M. Brackbill was born in Salisbury Township, Lancaster County, Pennsylvania, 5 December 1853, in the home of Joseph and Elizabeth Metzler Brackbill. He taught school for two years, attended a term of normal school, and then returned to the farm of his father. He married Elizabeth K. Denlinger 20 November 1879, a daughter of Benjamin L. and Anna Kreider Denlinger, born 18 October 1855. They had seven children. They were members of the Hershey church, probably before marriage, which was then rare. He was the first superintendent of the Hershey Sunday school and early a devotee of the mission cause. When it crystallized in the Sunday School Advocates in the middle 1890s, he headed the organization for a short time.
On 17 September 1896 Brackbill was ordained by Isaac Eby as a preacher in the Hershey-Paradise district. Though ordained when missions were not generally accepted, he continued his interest in missions and the Sunday school. He was a commanding figure in the pulpit and was very influential with the young people, being more progressive in spirit than many.
Upon the death of Isaac Eby in 1910, he was ordained bishop in the large Pequea-Mellinger- Strasburg district, serving ably until his death on 8 March 1936, leaving his imprint on the Lancaster Mennonite Conference.

The Alaska Fire Portal provides information about fire science and technology relevant to Alaska. Our goal is to provide "one-stop shopping" for resource managers, decision makers, scientists, students, and communities who want access to the results of efforts to understand and manage fire and fuels on lands in Alaska. Content may also be relevant to boreal forests of western Canada.
A substantial amount of the Alaska-related content was originally compiled through the FIREHouse project (the Northwest and Alaska Fire Research Clearinghouse), funded by the Joint Fire Science Program, and its two related projects: the Alaska Reference Database, (which was merged the FRAMES Resource Catalog, accessible through the "Catalog Records" tab below) and the Alaska Fire and Fuels Research Map, hosted through the AICC ArcIMS mapping website.

The government has found two people to run the struggling NHS IT programme - the National Programme for IT.
The world's largest non-military technology project has been without a permanent boss since the departure of Richard Granger in January. Interim boss Matthew Swindells left the post in April. NPfIT is expected to cost at least £12.7bn and is already running late. Granger described the job as "quite simply relentless"
Christine Connelly, a consultant who was previously CIO at Cadbury Schweppes, becomes CIO for Health, dealing with strategy, and Martin Bellamy will be the Director of Programme and System Delivery. Bellamy has been at the Department of Work and Pensions since 2003.
The troubled project is already running late and over budget. It lost a key contractor in May when Fujitsu decided to withdraw, leaving only BT, CSC and iSoft bidding for the patient records part of the contract.
Summary care records are not now expected to roll out until 2014 or 2015. This part of the project was meant to go live in 2010. Part of the project depends on iSoft's Lorenzo software, currently being tested ahead of rolling out in the north of England in autumn. ®

Liverpool have made their second signing of the summer after agreeing a deal for Bayer Leverkusen midfielder Emre Can.
The Reds have been chasing the Germany U-21 international for some time but the process was held up by complications relating to a buy-back clause Bayern Munich inserted into the deal which took the 20-year-old to Leverkusen for £4.4m a year ago.
It is understood that Can will officially join Liverpool on 1 July when all the relevant paperwork can be completed but the player has already signed a contract with the club.
Can had a €12m (£9.75m) release clause effective for foreign clubs and it is reported Bayern will receive £1.2m as compensation for waiving their buy-back option.
The 20-year-old midfielder follows Southampton striker Rickie Lambert, who completed his £4million move on Monday, to Anfield as manager Brendan Rodgers' summer strengthening continues ahead of a Champions League return next season.
A deal for the German progressed significantly on Wednesday when Leverkusen confirmed Liverpool had made an official bid and it was concluded late on Wednesday night.
In a short statement Liverpool said: "Liverpool have today agreed a deal in principle with Bayer Leverkusen to sign 20-year-old Emre Can, subject to documentation being completed."
Schade, in confirming Can's depature, said the club were powerless to keep the player once his release clause was met.
"Emre Can has developed very quickly at Bayer 04 Leverkusen over the past 12 months," he told the club's website.
"We wanted to keep Emre at Leverkusen but the release clause is part of his contract.
"So we wish him all the best and lots of success in his time in the Premier League."
Rodgers is trying to get most of his transfer business done early - a take-it-or-leave-it offer of £25million for Lambert's team-mate Adam Lallana remains on the table - but Liverpool are looking at alternatives should Southampton refuse to lower their £30million asking price, compounded by the 25 per cent sell-on clause agreed with Bournemouth.
The club are also trying to push through a deal for Sevilla left-back Alberto Moreno but are wary the Spanish club are trying to create an auction for the 21-year-old to inflate the asking price, which Liverpool currently believe is about £16million.
Away from team affairs Liverpool have taken another step towards the redevelopment of Anfield by submitting a formal planning application.
The club have sent extensive details of how they want to expand the Main and Anfield Road Stands to Liverpool City Council and a planning committee will consider the proposals later this year.
Residents, businesses and fans overwhelmingly backed the plans during a public consultation earlier this year and should they be approved it would see the capacity of a new Main Stand rise by 8,500 to nearly 21,000 and the Anfield Road end by 4,800, taking the total stadium capacity to 58,800.
The club has also appointed Tom Doyle, an experienced project director who worked on the London 2012 Olympic programme and more recently the SSE Hydro Arena in Glasgow, to manage the project.
"Over the past 18 months and as part of this approach, we have worked closely with the community, local residents, Liverpool City Council and Your Housing Group and we are delighted to be able to bring forward a planning application at this stage," Ian Ayre, who has been promoted to a more wide-ranging role as chief executive by owners Fenway Sports Group, told liverpoolfc.com.
"A lot of good work has been done and we still have more work to achieve certainty; however, the planning application is another step in the right direction."
If planning consent is granted construction will begin on the Main Stand early next year and will be completed in time for the 2016-17 season.

The Central Connecticut women's lacrosse team defeated Manhattan College, 11-5, on Wednesday evening. The Blue Devils are now 2-0 at home on the season. Senior goalkeeper Erin DeLancey limited Manhattan to only five goals in the game.
The Blue Devils scored early on the Jasper defense, building a 6-0 lead halfway through the opening period.
Junior Mackenzy Ryan led the opening run with a pair of goals. Both of her scores came on free position shots.
During the same stretch junior Betsy Vendel registered an unassisted goal to go along with three assists. Vendel helped senior Ashley Mara, senior Ashley Perkoski and junior Meaghan McCurry all register goals during the opening 15 minutes of play.
The Jaspers were able to post a pair of goals late in the half, but the Blue Devils halted Manhattan's momentum with a score at the 1:56 mark. Sophomore Claire Healy passed to McCurry for the goal, which gave Central a 7-2 halftime lead.
The Blue Devils outscored the Jaspers, 4-3, in the second half with Mara netting a pair of goals to complete her hat-trick. Mara was assisted by Healy and Vendel on her second half goals.
Vendel and Perkoski each scored once in the second half to finish the day with two goals. McCurry assisted on Vendel's goal, running her total points on the day to three.
Mara also finished with three points and Vendel led all players with six in the game.
The Blue Devil defense caused 11 turnovers in the game with junior Ali Roche and sophomore Ashley Olhausen each forcing a pair.
DeLancey anchored the Blue Devil defense, which has now held its opponents to just 17 goals over the last three contests. She stopped seven of the 12 shots that came at her net and ran her season save percentage above 50% in the process.
The Blue Devils controlled the ball for most of the game. Central held advantages in draw controls (11-7), ground balls (27-25) and shots (23-16).
The Blue Devils return to action on March 19, at the University of California Davis. That is the opening contest of a three game West Coast road trip.

I'm in the camp that thought the $150 was reasonable, but the lower it gets the more I gets pissed off
If the Shuttle goes any lower, I'm contemplating getting another one! One to hang in the "flying" position from the ceiling (Tyderrium), and the other for the Emperor's Arrival diorama. Now that would be cool to have both of those set up separately at the same time!
